Thank you Francis, I followed your instructions and got sorted. I should have explained in my first email that I was speaking about Windows Explorer.

Then arrow down until you come to the item "Arrange items by". Press your right arrow and you then have various options as to how you want to arrange your files. You will want to use the "Name" option. Hope this helps.
